PG_EXPORTER_AUTO_DISCOVER_DATABASES can not be used with unix socket host

[M1ha-Shvn]

Hi. My goal is to use /var/run/postgresql/ as DSN host with PG_EXPORTER_AUTO_DISCOVER_DATABASES enabled. But I can't figure out correct way to do this, seems a bug.

First attempt: DSN

Readme offers such DSN: DATA_SOURCE_NAME="user=postgres host=/var/run/postgresql/ sslmode=disable" But when I use it I get errors for non default databases:

Feb  5 13:28:59 ru-db-pg-shard-data-01 postgres_exporter[2437731]: time="2021-02-05T13:28:59+03:00" level=error msg="Error opening connection to database (benchmark_main): malformed dsn \"benchmark_main\"" source="postgres_exporter.go:1474"
Feb  5 13:29:05 ru-db-pg-shard-data-01 postgres_exporter[2437731]: time="2021-02-05T13:29:05+03:00" level=error msg="Error opening connection to database (carrot_shard_1): malformed dsn \"carrot_shard_1\"" source="postgres_exporter.go:1474"

Looks like databases found by auto discover are forming wrong dsn.

Second attempt: URI

Correct equal URI as recomended in PostgreSQL docs: DATA_SOURCE_NAME="postgresql://postgres@/postgres?host=/var/run/postgresql&sslmode=disable"

But library ignores / symbol after @. It is important as it means I set database name, not host. URI from logs looks like: "postgresql://postgres@carrot_shard_1?host=/var/run/postgresql&sslmode=disable"

Logs:

I am using this and working for me:

DATA_SOURCE_URI="postgres@:5432/postgres?host=/var/run/postgresql"

The port has to be there and cannot be empty, for some reasons.
